WarriorRitual Custom SE Blocker

The Warrior Ritual Custom SE blocker is brand new for 2012. Like it's counterpart, the Custom PRO blocker, the Custom SE features a collapsing palm, segmented finger protection, a flexible thumb guard, a countoured backhand cradle, and a lightweight design.Unlike the Custom PRO blocker, the Custom SE features a mid board position (board centered over the backhand), a dual board curve (slight curve at the lower, outer corner of the board), and bindings around the board for a classic look. * Pro-level protection and sizing * The SE has a mid board position for great balance and easy paddle-down play * Lower outside corner of blocker board flared slightly out for a flat seal along the ice in paddle down play * Bindings around the blocker board for a classic look * New, segmented finger protection * Hinged thumb protector moves alongside your thumb for increased protection * Exclusive collapsing palm allows for vibration dampening without compromising comfort and control * Contoured backhand cradle keeps the blocker board from unnecessarily rotating on your hand as the goalie moves and makes saves

I know that these aren't the most popular blockers, but I really, really like the Ritual SE. For me, the wrist mobility is superb, I really love the accordion style finger protection, and I love how customizable the sidewall strapping is.

The collapsable palm is also a favorite of mine. Every other blocker that I've had bunches up between the thumb and forefinger, and this is the only palm that I've had that doesn't do that. Also, the fact that you can customize both the length and height of the fingers is a fantastic idea and it really allowed me to get a snug palm feel.
